Funkyman Junk Sale

Once in a blue moon, a yard sale will have JUST what I have been looking for. Yesterday was one of those. I went to the Funky Man's sale last year and came away with lots of cool vintage pottery. This year I found the little kelly green metal table of my dreams, a solid wood shelf for my craft room, another small shelf for my craft room and a $15 crystal chandelier. I couldn't believe I had a car full of cool stuff for so cheap. The two old men hosting the sale were also alot of fun to haggle with.


Now my only question is: should I paint the chandelier a different color? White? Black? Please let me know your thoughts. I'm stumped.

I think it would look great painted black!

I would leave it but it would look great in black. I think white would look kind of weird with the crystals. But you are the one with style for home decour not me!

So that's NOT the chandelier that I saw. I like this one MUCH better. I would totally leave it as is. You hit the jackpot!

Love it all. Leave the chandelier. You're right, it matches mine and mom's sconces. I'm digging the dark bookshelf.

Love your finds. I have a very similar chandelier that I painted black and I wish I would have painted it white. It looks fantastic as is though. You are looking fantastic these days too. Makes me feel inspired to eat healthier...

Such great finds! I think the chandelier would be so pretty painted white! Love it!

I was so contemplating going to that. But, the desire to not drag 4 kids behind me telling them every 2 seconds to stop touching, won. Bummer. I hate missing good stuff.
Looks like you got some great stuff.

At first I thought white, then I thought black, and then I thought a dark navy blue. So I don't know. But I love what you found!! That was a great sale! Thanks for sharing the info.

It all depends where you put it! With the colors I see in the picture behind it, it would be really pretty in a soft sky blue color! It might give the room a little added pizazz! great finds!
